So sick of Ferrari as a company
-
I am pretty sure the Countach would have been direct competition to the F40 to be period correct with the Porsche 959 in the mix as well.

F50

It makes sense if you look at their time lines. They ended the F50 in 1997 then the Enzo 2002-2004 and now the La Ferrari 2013 - prestent

By makes sense I mean there are large gaps between their halo cars.
-
All of those Ferrari's you guys just listed were 3x the price of Lambos of the same era. Apples to oranges in my opinion.
I agree. When you talk about the "competition" between the cars I don't even think it is fair. Lamborghini was still a novelty that tried to kill you at every blink while the Ferrari's were mostly track focused true super cars made in limited volume. The f355 would be closer in price to the Diablo but on paper the Diablo still competed with the F50.

I'd take a Lambo over a Ferrari any day.
However, the '14 458 Italia is an amazing car.

My uncle (who works at MPI in Oshkosh) said that Ferraris starting with the 308 are actually pretty easy to work on. Time consuming with the engine removals up until the 360 (and 328 timing belts could be replaced w/o removing the engine), but overall Ferrari didn't do anything too incredibly stupid packaging wise.
Also, giving hope to those like myself who'd like to someday snag a 360, timing belts can be done in under 2 hours start/finish if you've done it before and have the proper tools.

Was that a mis-type, or does MPI have a facility in Oshkosh as well? I've never heard of them having a shop down by me, just their two in Appleton area (Neenah and Greenville I think?).

You may be right, it's probably Neenah! I haven't spoken to him in a while and I just found out about him working there not too long ago.
